Senior brother is so awesome!

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! "Second Senior Brother! I have a gift for you!" Deep in the woods, in the small courtyard surrounded by a fence around the wooden house, a girl stood with her hands behind her back, her upturned phoenix eyes full of expectation, gazing at the white-clad man who was pounding medicine.

She tilted her head back and smiled gently. The midday sun shone softly on her handsome face. Her narrow eyes were like black pearls, and her image was reflected in the shimmering water. Although he had already seen what was hidden behind her, he couldn't bear to disappoint her. So he frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then slowly shook his head. Her black hair, held up by a coarse cloth ribbon, swayed gently in the light mountain breeze. Her profile, which was even more beautiful than a woman's, was somewhat bewildered.

Sure enough, the woman was very pleased with herself and suddenly pulled something out from behind her. "Ta-da! These are specially made boots for you, Junior Sister!"

Actually, she learned to make these boots from the maid. It was her first time doing needlework, so the result was a bit of a mess. On the inside of the black boots, she even embroidered a cicada, a small insect, but that was just her own idea. In reality, it was just a mess and no one could make a sense of it.

That's how those boots came about, and it was the last thing she saw before she lost consciousness. But inexplicably, her heart calmed down, and she fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, she was surrounded by many people. Their faces were so familiar, as if they had been imprinted in her mind for a lifetime. No matter how many storms or how much time had passed, they could not wash away that feeling.

Seeing her awake, everyone breathed a sigh of relief from their anxious expressions, and then began arguing about who should greet their junior sister first. The real protagonist, however, was left out, blinking her beautiful, bewildered eyes as she watched the five argue. The white-clad figure, who had been standing idly to the side, finally walked leisurely to the bedside and sat down, taking her small hand in his large one, his phoenix eyes soft and gentle, everything understood without words.

"Second Senior Brother..." She blinked in disbelief, only to see him still sitting beside her with a smile, and she realized she wasn't dreaming. For two years, whenever she recalled the deep helplessness in his eyes and the love etched into his bones when they parted at the hunting grounds, her heart ached as if it were being torn apart. She thought she would never have the chance to see him again in this life, but unexpectedly, when she woke up from the dream, not only her second senior brother, but also all four of her other senior brothers appeared before her.

Is she still dreaming?

Zhu Mingquan's phoenix eyes held tenderness as he gazed deeply at her, and he said softly, "I'm here."

It really is! She sat up abruptly and threw herself into his arms. "Second Senior Brother, it really is you!" The person who had haunted her dreams for so long suddenly appeared before her eyes. A surge of joy overwhelmed her, and she just wanted to be in his warm embrace, to feel his tenderness to the fullest.

He finally smelled the familiar fragrance again, and his empty heart was instantly filled. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the four people who had been arguing just moments before had noticed them, so he gently patted her back and coaxed, "Junior sister, why are you becoming more and more like a child as you grow up? Be good, your four senior brothers have missed you very much."

Hearing her second senior brother's words, she reluctantly poked her little head out of his arms. Her eyes, which had been somewhat misty, finally couldn't hold back her tears when she saw the four of them, and tears streamed down her face.

The third senior brother was still the same as before, handsome as ever, but his long, narrow eyes had become even more profound, clearly showing he was more mature than before. Three years ago, he was a cunning fox who would devour people without spitting out the bones; now, his scheming was probably even deeper. He wore a white jade crown, and his tall figure was dressed in a royal blue robe, the fabric subtly embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. A jade belt tied around his waist, making him appear both dashing and maturely reserved. Even she, a novice, could tell that not only were his clothes and equipment extremely luxurious, but even his overall demeanor exuded an air of nobility. She couldn't help but wonder, had he returned to the Ling family?

The jade-ribbed fan gently tapped her head, and Nangong Xu looked at her with a smile in his deep eyes, "Have you noticed that your senior brother has become even more handsome?"

"Uh..." He's getting more and more narcissistic.

Qin Yuechan, tears still glistening in her eyes, leaned against her second senior brother's chest. Hearing this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as she was caught between these two thoughts, her fourth senior brother suddenly pulled her third senior brother over and stepped forward, leaning closer. "Junior sister, are you missing your senior brother too much, that's why you're crying?" His peach blossom eyes looked her up and down, and his wicked gaze made her feel like she was being stared at naked!

Subconsciously, she snuggled closer to her second senior brother, then blinked her big eyes and glanced at him. When she saw his increasingly handsome, devilish face, her heart clenched with jealousy. How could he be so good-looking! But he was just a lecherous scoundrel with a beautiful exterior but a rotten core! Recalling the various shameful positions he had made her pose under the bed, her cheeks burned red. She forced herself to remain calm and replied, "I wasn't thinking about you! Go admire yourself!"

Situ Ze's enthusiasm was completely dampened. All his longing day and night had finally been rewarded with this girl's indifference upon meeting her. He was just about to vent his longing of the past three years when he was pushed aside as soon as he opened his mouth!

"Finally, it's my turn! Junior Sister!" she exclaimed, about to rush onto the bed. Her second senior brother quickly reached out to stop her, shouting, "Junior Brother, be careful! Junior Sister is still injured!"

Having been warned, Lin Hongxuan reluctantly withdrew his hand, stood by the bed clenching his fists, and stared straight at her with clear eyes that seemed about to overflow with tears.

Qin Yuechan was amazed. The little kid who was only a year older than her back then had grown into a handsome young man. His chubby cheeks had thinned out, revealing his original features. He had red lips and white teeth and was very handsome. His delicate features had matured. The eighteen-year-old boy stood there full of vigor, but his big eyes were brimming with tears. His appearance of holding back tears made people feel sorry for him.

She couldn't help but reach out her little hand to comfort him, but her second senior brother grabbed her and said with a serious expression, "You're injured, don't move around."

Although he meant well, Qin Yuechan sensed a hint of domineering in his words, and a barely perceptible smile crept onto her lips. "Six Nights of Romance" updates the fastest, all text hand-typed. What woman wouldn't like this feeling?

She noticed the tall, imposing man standing outside the crowd out of the corner of her eye and called out softly, "Fifth Senior Brother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yelin, who was standing to the side with his hands behind his back, immediately became the target of everyone's envy. Several people looked at him so fiercely that they almost wanted to tear him apart. This blockhead did not fight or compete, but he received special treatment from his junior sister. How could people not be envious?

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't miss her; on the contrary, he longed to rush over and snatch her from his second senior brother's arms, to hold her tightly and relieve the intense longing in his heart. But... alas.

Having spent years training on the battlefield, his skin was tanned dark, obscuring the rosy glow on his face. Dressed in a black outfit, he shuffled forward, glancing briefly at her radiant face before lowering his head and saying in a deep voice, "Junior Sister... it's been a long time."

Instantly, everyone present felt a sense of awe and disbelief. Qin Yuechan, however, kept her eyes fixed on his face, noticing even the subtle changes in his expression. She then feigned sadness, lowering her head and sobbing, "Fifth Senior Brother doesn't like me anymore, boohoo..."

Faced with the accusing gazes of others, Zhao Yelin felt utterly speechless. His face flushed and dark, he looked at her, reaching out to comfort her, but the moment he touched her skin, he recoiled as if electrocuted. This action only intensified Qin Yuechan's crying. Seeing his helpless state, his fourth senior brother was utterly ashamed. This was the Great General of the White Tiger Kingdom! How come he's become more reserved with age?!

He stepped forward and suddenly grabbed Zhao Yelin's neck, warning him in a harsh tone, "Fifth Brother, if you don't like Junior Sister, just say so. Why make her so sad!"

In his haste, he didn't have time to think about anything else. Seeing her cry felt like a knife was stabbing his heart, so he blurted out, "Of course I love my junior sister, I love her day and night!"

Finally getting the words she wanted to hear out, she angrily raised her face and snapped, "If that's the case, then why do you treat me like a stranger?"

"I...I..." He lowered his head, his brows furrowed, his face turning dark red, unable to utter a word, and then suddenly turned and walked out!

She watched his broad back as he fled the dormitory, a giggle finally breaking out on her lips. She buried her face in her second senior brother's chest, laughing so hard she trembled. The remaining four exchanged bewildered glances, finally understanding her little trick, and their doting gazes focused on her trembling figure. As night fell and the city lights came on, Qin Yuechan, finally gathered together, had Qing'er prepare a sumptuous dinner, inviting her master and Sister-in-law Yun to share a reunion meal. Just as the food was on the table, Zhong Zhichen returned, right on time for dinner.

This was the first time I had seen him in many days. Although he looked a little tired, his arrogant aura still made people feel intimidated.

Throughout the entire meal, he kept a cool, cold face and didn't say a word, just kept drinking. She couldn't understand what was going on. According to Qing'er's investigation in the afternoon, Zhong Zhichen went to the palace that afternoon and had been wearing a stern face ever since he returned. She recalled what Rouyu had said about the "Empress" and instinctively felt that it was related to the Emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom. Now that things had failed, he should be sent to the palace to question him.

In the quaint and elegant Tingchan Garden, a large round table that could seat more than a dozen people was laden with sumptuous dishes. Apart from the somewhat eerie atmosphere, everything else was fine...

Because there were so many people today, they arranged the seating according to the order they had taken at Sanqing Mountain. The master sat at the head of the table, and then the others lined up in order. To Qin Yuechan's left was the little boy—no, I should say her junior brother—and to her right was Sister-in-law Yun. Having secured her a prime spot, she hadn't seen her junior brother all afternoon, but he kept putting food in her bowl, his hand behind his back occasionally brushing against her back, making her feel ticklish.

Sister Yun smiled and served her soup, which she had no choice but to drink. Under the gaze of everyone, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles as she drank the soup and ate the vegetables, while the others remained motionless with their food. Only Zhong Zhichen drank one glass of wine after another in silence.

Just when she could no longer bear it, her master slowly spoke up: "There is still half a month before the martial arts tournament. Chan'er is injured and cannot travel. How about I set off in seven days?"

The discussion, though tinged with a hint of authority, was more like a notification. Everyone answered in unison, "Yes! We will obey Master's orders!"

This did not include Zhong Zhichen, who had always been the most favored and valued by his master. However, today he ignored his master's words and smashed the white jade cup on the ground with a livid face! The crisp sound of the jade shattering echoed in the room, followed by an eerie silence.

A wicked sneer appeared on his cold face as he said in a deep voice, "You can leave, but you must leave Junior Sister behind!" After saying that, he stood up and left without waiting for everyone's reaction.

Qin Yuechan's gaze followed his dark purple figure until he disappeared through the doorway. She clenched her hands, stood up, gave her master some instructions, and then chased after him.

Situ Ze suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his peach blossom eyes brimming with rage, "Master..."

Ye Xianqing gazed at the doorway with an ambiguous expression, then waved his hand...

When she chased after him, he was nowhere to be seen. She asked a maid and learned that he had gone in the direction of Qinwu Garden. Worried that he had only drunk a lot of wine but had not eaten, she asked Qing'er to go to the small kitchen to get some snacks and went to look for him alone.

Qinwu Garden is where Zhong Zhichen practices martial arts. She practices here every day at dawn. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she was stopped by the guards on both sides. "His Highness ordered that no one is allowed to disturb her." While guarding her diligently, they were also very respectful to her.

Qin Yuechan frowned. She was now a princess, and the entire Regent's Palace should be considered her home, right? To be blocked in her own home was truly ridiculous! Filled with worry yet unable to enter, she grew anxious. However, the guard hadn't done anything wrong, so she couldn't get too involved. Therefore, she said gently, "His Highness didn't have dinner tonight, so I'm bringing him some snacks. Please let me in, guard."

Upon hearing the word "elder brother," the two men knelt down with a thud, hastily saying, "Your Highness is too kind to us servants! We deserve to die!"

Well, taking advantage of the moment when the two knelt down, she quickly walked in. By the time the two noticed, she had already opened the door to the main hall of Qinwu Garden. Sigh, what can she do when she knows nothing else but has some skill in lightness kung fu?

Even through the door, she could hear the powerful sounds of martial arts practice and the clanging of wooden stakes inside. Pushing open the door, a gust of wind rushed towards her face. She couldn't dodge in time and thought she was about to suffer another terrible fate! But in an instant, the fist stopped a centimeter away from her!

Holding her breath, her eyes widened in terror, and her hand went limp, causing the plate she was holding to slip from her grasp!

Just as it was about to fall to the ground, Zhong Zhichen caught it with lightning speed. The change happened in an instant, demonstrating his high level of martial arts skills.

Qin Yuechan finally came to her senses, and suddenly felt a surge of anger. She frowned and shouted, "Do you want to kill me?!"

Zhong Zhichen, holding a plate of pastries, said with a cold face, "If you hadn't suddenly pushed the door open, how could I have almost hurt you?"

"You! They brought you some snacks because they saw you hadn't eaten! And you're still trying to argue!"

Actually, the moment Zhong Zhichen saw her, he felt less awkward. However, thinking about that incident, he still couldn't smile. He tossed the plate to her, then turned around and walked to the wooden stake, resuming his martial arts practice as if no one else was around.

She suddenly felt powerless. In her old temper, she would have smashed the plate and left, but she was so worried that she had no choice but to put the pastries in the rest area and stand to the side watching him practice martial arts.

His bare upper body was bulging with muscles, his powerful arms contracting and relaxing with each movement, his lean waist taut with six strong muscles, a perfect inverted triangle physique complemented by his bulging muscles, and his perpetually icy face—there was practically no flaw in him. He was undeniably an attractive man: power, beauty, physique! A tough exterior with a tender heart! He almost perfectly embodied every woman's fantasy. Thinking of the five men in the nearby courtyard, a sweet feeling welled up inside her. Had Heaven truly given her a second chance at life to enjoy happiness?

Candles were lit all over the training room, making it as bright as day. Soon, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body, slowly running down the lines of his muscles. Just then, he turned his head to the side, his chin taut, and suddenly he felt a sense of déjà vu! It was... Chen Zhi?

Her heart skipped a beat! Her eyes widened as she searched for similarities in him, her heart pounding so hard it almost burst out of her mouth! She could barely breathe! In the valley, she had watched Chen Zhi practice martial arts more than once. It wasn't just that her mental suggestion was too strong; she could tell that his every move, even the way he walked, was exactly like Chen Zhi's—no, almost identical!

Just then, Zhong Zhichen finished his practice and turned around, only to see the little woman standing there dumbfounded, staring straight at him. Her already large, round eyes were now wide open in a frightening way. His heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to press her pulse points. After pressing several acupoints, Qin Yuechan finally collapsed softly into his arms, panting heavily, but her eyes remained fixed on his face, not blinking.

His brows were furrowed tightly: "Is something wrong?" His gaze was so eerie, as if he were looking through someone else!

After a long pause, she gritted her teeth and struggled back a few steps, clenching her small fists and glaring at him fiercely: "Who exactly are you?!"

Zhong Zhichen narrowed his cold eyes slightly, "Chan'er, don't you recognize me?"

"Stop pretending! Are you Zhong Zhichen or..." Her phoenix eyes stared intently at his face, and she uttered the name through gritted teeth: "Chen Zhi!" If she had only seven-tenths doubted before, she was now completely certain. She noticed that there was a nearly invisible scar on the inside of Zhong Zhichen's arm, and Chen Zhi also had the same scar.

He raised an eyebrow with interest and readily admitted, "That's right, Zhong Zhichen is Chen Zhi."

A deep, slightly hoarse voice rang in her ears: Zhong Zhichen, Chen Zhi. Haha, she was really stupid. It was just the names reversed. How come she didn't notice?

Ever since the day she miscarried, she had tried desperately to forget that name. Everything about him—his voice, his scent, his habitual gestures—was buried deep within her heart! That's why, when she encountered Zhong Zhichen again two years later, she didn't immediately realize it. She only felt a dull ache in her heart, as if she wanted to remember something, but at the last moment, she failed. And today, with this opportunity, she finally belatedly discovered…
